Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

Psychologists have a long arsenal of terms for the mental habits designed to preserve cherished religious beliefs: dissociation, absolutist thinking, dichotomization, object permanence, nominal realism, phenomenalistic causality and worse. Every church is nothing but a lunatic asylum full of delusional thumb sucking death deniers.

If you seek religion, go to church and your local pastor.

If you seek eternal damnation, visit your local fudgepacker.

It is that simple.

Shallow. Man made nonsense and imagination based upon it's evil heart is the apex of mental insanity.

I agree, what with everything I see coming about from the Abrahamic philosophies these days.

To me the "cornerstone" verse teaches that there is strength and value in even flawed / rejected [stones, bricks, people]. I guess I kinda have to grudgingly go along with this ... I guess.

I will give a big AMEN to that.

You're smart enough to know that you're insanity doesn't work. Don't take so much pride in your understanding of the Bible, has even your demon friends know what it says.
Time is short so party while ya can, as that's what you'll do anyway.

Hey cretin, we were discussing the other sexually disordered, religious freeeek's contention that jeebus condemned homosexuality.

It's simple, all some xstain fundie nutcase has to do is point to where jeebus said anything about homosexuality.

And you haven't read the buybull, Cletus. You've read partial bits translated by men centuries after the original texts in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic.

That's not too hard even for you to understand. Praiz!

Include homosexuality in the DSM III, until the psych perps went political.

First Osteen judges gays now he's judging GOD ?!?!?!?
SHAME Joel, SHAME!

Tool, Christ wrote the entire Bible. Lev, Romans, all point to the fact that homosexuality is a crime. duh.

True Islam hasn't changed since the 7th Century, but, just like Christianity, it has vulgarized sects. In terms of size comparison, that is size of apostasy, modern organized Christianity is totally apostate and anti-Biblical, just using the label of Christ is all.

Islam has somewhat less changes, but is nevertheless just as heathen as organized hypocrite Christianity.

There are true Christians, all outside of the organized Church.

Osteen added that he loves everyone, that some of his closest friends are gay, and that they tend to be "some of the nicest people in the world."
Why is it that this one statement is uttered by every bigot and hater and they think it makes their view ok?

nice spin,I like how you turn that 180 degrees, or was it 360?

Oh, jeebus wrote the buybull now?

And you needn't refer to the entire buybull, including Levitycuss, until you follow all of it: Including the stoning of adulterers and those who work on the sabbath.

Anyway, you have not read the buybull. You've read translations from the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew. You have no idea what the fallible texts say...apart from the fact of your screamingly funny confusion about who wrote it.

Praiz, the loons!

I suppose Christ also wrote the Holy Coran, and that's why they both begin with the letter "c".

lol

If I remember... Jim Jones had a large flock following him also.

Wait, God has a "best"? I thought he was infallible...Wouldn't EVERYTHING be his "best" if he was infallible? Religious zealots...gotta love 'em...or not...

Um...you're joking, right? It's spelled "Qur’an". With a Q.

Tokkar,

Usually I agree with you, but in this post you're being nearly as dogmatic as the Fundie homophobes.

Actually, Christ wrote none of the Bible. Zip...Zero...Nada...Which coincides with your intelligence level...

Prove it's something more than a choice...as for now you're relying on some hypothetical genetic defect.
When you prove that then call people bigots all you want. Trying to put it on par with something uncontrollable like race is just insulting. As far as "Hate the sin love the sinner"... what's wrong with that? I had someone close to me get murdered... can I not hate the sin and love the sinner? I have friends who are addicted to drugs... can I not hate the sin and love the sinner? I have a friend who is addicted to sleeping with people of the same sex... can I not hate the sin and love the sinner?

Your alcoholic Dad .... can you hate the sin and love the sinner? Addiction is a powerful thing and the most powerful addiction of all is Lust. Regardless if it's lust for a man, woman, drug, alcohol, etc etc etc it is still powerful.

Hate the sin love the sinner. Whoever said "True love is accepting everything about a person" is delusional. True love is picking them up while they're down not encouraging them to stay down. Otherwise you're an enabler and just as guilty as the dealer on the street corner.
